On August 19, 2008. It was announced that Applegate is cancer free after a double mastectomy, even though cancer was found in only one of them. She has an inherited genetic fault, a BRCA1[14] mutation, which very often causes breast cancer in those with said fault. Her mother, Nancy Priddy, is a breast cancer survivor.

dont feel bad arman i made the same mistake. i thought she was going to remain calm, cool, and collected but like me she seems to have paniced a bit too. shes only human. she can get some implants, i'm not sure how long the healing will take. atleast shes still ok. maybe it'll make the cast of mwc realize nobody lives for ever and make them want to get together for another show, even if it's only a made for tv movie.
